"Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim's head who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn...So he blessed them that day, saying, 'By you Israel will bless, saying, "May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!" ' And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh."

" 'Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.'

 Note: I was in a second hand store and heard a young woman speaking to another woman about seeing her husband hit by a car. It was clear to me that she was quite shaken by it. As she went on about the things that he would now have to deal with I looked up and said, "Take him to see Billy Burke. He has a miracle ministry, and comes to Monroeville at the Doubletree once a month." I shared with her the miracles the Lord had given me, including healing my eyes so I could update my Bible study site, and I gave her my card. A bit later I saw her husband and asked if I could pray for him. He graciously allowed me to do so. I gently put my right hand behind his head as I asked if there was any other area. He said his back. Immediately I felt the Holy Spirit all over me as I prayed for God to "go into the areas that have been injured (moving my hand down his back) and reconstruct them, in Jesus precious name. Amen." He thanked me. Still, as I prayed in the Spirit, I felt I needed to pray for his wife as well. So when I saw her again I went to her and said, "I'm impressed to pray for you too." She said "OK." I took her hands in mine, and prayed, "Father, take the fear out of her from what she saw her husband go thorugh. Go deep, deep inside of her, and let her know how much You love that man of hers, and her, and let them know You are there for them. In Jesus name. Amen." When I opened my eyes, and looked up at her, I could see she had tears in her eyes. She said, "Thank you." I said, "You're welcome." And walked away. |
| 1 Tim. 5:22 |
"Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people's sins; keep yourself pure."
Note: The next day in church the Pastor said God wanted him to lay hands on us and pray for us. A confirmation. I went up for him to pray for me. God told him to tell me He was going to give me a bigger bell. Pastor mentioned a bell for dinner, and I said "and a bell that wakes you up." He agreed. Let's ring that bell, Lord! |
| 2 Tim. 1:6-7
|
"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a soud mind. |
